You smile only when they ask you to smile,
Laugh or just put on a grin.
For them, you will walk that mile
Plastic smiles are but a dreadful sin.
You cry when they expect you to cry,
Show off pain you don’t even feel.
Every day is a race against time,
No matter how you look, it is a devil’s deal.
You get angry when they put down,
Gulp it up and you bear the pain.
Days go by without a smile but just a frown,
They will steal your purpose and life will be in vain.
They aren’t any words to express your sorrow
A hope, which will blow off tomorrow.
An hour today is worth a thousand in a lifetime
You gave up your soul in return for a dime
Death is inevitable
But living is a choice
The day you cease to survive,
You will know you have a life.
“Surviving is a skill , but living is an art”
